### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-12-07*

I couldn’t get this app to work with either my iPhone or my Apple Watch.

**Developer response:** Please contact me via the Developer Website link before writing a bad review. I help anybody who reports an issue. A typical problem is an issue with your home network. Even though version 1.4 is several years old, RokuMotion still works with the latest iPhones and Apple Watch.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2016-01-25*

Nonroku found and charging for an app and also placing ads. Please. What a con

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-05-10*

Couldn't get it to work.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2015-05-03*

Can't locate roku device

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-05-02*

While the official Roku app can find both of my roku's, this app seems to be able to find neither one. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2015-04-30*

Ap cannot find Roku

### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to work with Roku Stick

*2015-04-28*

All I get is "waiting for Roku". The Roku is definitely on.

### 1/5 — "Waiting for Roku" is all I see on watch.

*2015-04-26*

I don't understand how to pair the Roku and the app, or it just doesn't work. My other remote apps for Roku work fine.

### 1/5 — The app doesn't show up on the watch

*2015-04-25*

I installed, and the app on my phone is just a black screen that says something like "control your Roku with your watch" and that is it. The application settings don't show up in the iPhone Apple Watch application and the icon doesn't show up on the watch itself.

### 2/5 — Bad

*2018-06-08*

Is not working. Cannot find roku and options is also not working.

**Developer response:** "Options" is actually the * button on newer remotes. Contact me via the Developer Website link on the App store to resolve not finding the Roku. Re-read the RokuMotion app description for suggestions when the app can't find the Roku box.

### 5/5 — Finally a Roku TV Apple Watch app that works!

*2019-10-23*

Got a new Apple Watch series 5 and wanted an app to act as a remote for my Roku TV. I noticed a small feature was missing and messaged the developer they added it in less than a day! Apple store approved in in another day and now it works as hoped for. Might not be the prettiest thing but it’s highly functional and gets the job done when the kids hide the remote for the umpteenth time!

### 5/5 — Works great - Superior Apple Watch app

*2019-09-21*

This review is really about how well it works on Apple Watch, as you wouldn’t be here otherwise because the actual Roku branded app works sooo much better. 

Of the two paid Apple Watch Roku apps, this app is far superior especially if you have a Roku TV. Does everything I need it to do and then some. 

Well worth the $1

### 5/5 — Awesome app and great customer service!

*2019-03-08*

This app lets you control your Roku TV from your Apple Watch. It works much better than the Apple remote app that comes with the Apple Watch. In addition to a great app, the customer service is fantastic. The app developer was very communicative and even made adjustments to the app on my request. I would gladly purchase another app from this developer if he comes up with another app for the Apple Watch. I was very impressed!

### 5/5 — Fine

*2018-10-08*

Works just fine

### 5/5 — does what I wanted!

*2017-05-16*

I was looking for a remote to pilot my roku from my apple watch and after trying another one with "more reviews" that was just crashing , I gave a go to that one.
At first, it was not working so I contacted the developper and got an answer within few hours. Help provided was good and solved my problem. Great job here !!

### 5/5 — Love keyboard input

*2016-02-03*

I use the keyboard input feature all the time, and it makes the app worth every penny. The tiny ad at the bottom is easy to ignore. Not worth ranting about.

### 4/5 — Better than Roku’s app.. except

*2020-04-04*

This app is far superior in immediately responding to Roku devices than Roku’s own proprietary mobile and Apple Watch apps BUT there’s no “back” button in the watch app’s remote (nor the main app). Please include a “back” feature for the watch!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I have added a Back button to the app and watch app in version 1.8, which will be available soon. For a faster response to issues, please feel free to contact me directly.

### 4/5 — Great

*2015-06-28*

Needs a back function added ! Hard to use without it ... Otherwise works great !

### 4/5 — New version works great

*2015-05-16*

Version 1.2 works great. Thanks for making this app. I have been using it with a Roku 3 and a Roku streaming stick.
